Archival Collections

Special Collections houses books, journals, and manuscripts of a rare, unique, valuable or regional nature. Included are materials relating to Saskatchewan, Western Canada, and works by University of Saskatchewan authors.

The
University Archives acquires, preserves, and makes accessible records
of permanent value, regardless of medium. In addition to departmental
and administrative records, the Archives acquires records from faculty,
staff, student organizations, and some alumni. Collections within the
Archives are not organized by subject, but by provenance; individual
collections (or fonds)
therefore may contain material on a wide variety of subjects, depending
upon the responsibilities, interests or avocations of the donor.

The
list below includes those collections with significant amounts of
material relating to First Nations, Métis and Inuit studies within the holdings of Special Collections and University Archives. New
collections will be added as they are acquired; but for more information
or assistance, please contact the staff of the archives (www.usask.ca/archives) or the staff of Special Collections (library.usask.ca/spcoll)
